Ethiopiques, Vol. 1: Golden Years of Modern Music by Various Artists (CD) [IMPORT - (not USA)]
"Ethiopiques, Vol. 1: Golden Years of Modern Music" (02/03/1998) International Various Artists, Buda RecordsThis first volume of the Ethiopiques series just begins to show the scope of the golden age of Ethiopian music, loving assembled, remastered, and annotated. What's obvious is the influence of American soul and blues, the former quite apparent in the Memphis groove of Muluquen Mellese's "Wetetie Mare," with its smoking bassline. Mellese himself has a very androgynous voice, unlike Mahmoud Ahmed, one of the major early Ethiopian stars, whose 1975 tracks sound like Arthur Conley singing in Aramaic, with "Yeqer Memekatesh" a true undiscovered soul classic. The three instrumental pieces that punctuate the disc have a wonderful smoky sound, like late-night jazz played by Booker T. and the MGs. The 1969 cuts from Teshone Meteku could only have come from that decade, with "Yezemed Yebaed" eerily reminiscent of "Black Magic Woman" in everything but its guitar work. But the most revolutionary pieces are from Getatchew Kassa, whose reinterpretations of the revered traditional "Tezeta," in both slow and fast versions, go utterly against history, making the piece relevant for the young -- which, after all, is what rock, hip-hop, and every other movement have done. ~ Chris Nickson

Explorer Series: Zimbabwe - Shona Mbira Music by Various Artists (CD - 08/27/2002)
"Explorer Series: Zimbabwe - Shona Mbira Music" (08/27/2002) International Various Artists, Nonesuch Records (USA)This album was originally titled AFRICA: SHONA MBIRA MUSIC. Performers include: Hakurotwi Mude (vocals, mbira). Recorded in Zimbabwe between 1971 & 1974. Originally released on Nonesuch (72077). Includes liner notes by Paul Berliner. All tracks have been digitally remastered. This is part of the Nonesuch Explorer Series. Personnel: Hakurotwi Mude (vocals); Ephat Mujuru, Ephraim Mutemasango, Webster Pasipamire (hosho). Audio Remasterer: Robert C. Ludwig. Liner Note Author: Paul Berliner. Recording information: Highfields, Salisbury, England; Highfields, Zimbabwe; Kwaramba Village, Mondoro; Mondoro, Zimbabwe; University of Rhodesia, Salisbury, England. Editor: Robert C. Ludwig. Photographers: Thomas Stewart; George Fortune; Paul Berliner. One of three wonderful collections centered around the mbira (thumb piano), Shona Mbira Music provides a superb overview of this branch of African Music. The gorgeous melody of the first track, "Nhemamusasa" (attractive enough to be filched later on by the Penguin Caf? Orchestra) is presented both in a bare-bones, instrumental format and then again with the appropriate accompanying vocals. It has the sort of percolating rhythm and general infectiousness that make one wish it would continue forever. The vocals on this and other pieces, rough by Western standards, are beautifully nuanced, heartfelt, and could provide more than a few lessons to contemporary soul and jazz singers. The entire disc travels similar territory; one lovely song to the next, the mbira and voices are entwined in delicious harmony. It makes for a great introduction to this music and will sound strangely familiar to most any listener. Highly recommended. ~ Brian Olewnick

Caise Ceoil by Various Artists (CD) [IMPORT - Ireland]
"Caise Ceoil" (09/15/2001) International Various Artists, Clo-Iar-Chonnachta (Ireland)Clo lar-Chonnachta has put together 22 tracks of traditional Irish folk music on their 2001 release, Caise Ceoil. Although the album has a rich variety of Irish folk musicians performing the songs, to the casual listener there is not much to tell them apart. In fact, much of the music suffers from feeling the same. The songs are all pleasant and certainly well-performed, yet after a few songs it is easy to lose track of when one song begins or ends. To be fair, this collection seems geared toward collectors more than the general public. That being said, there is some excellent music to be found on the disc, particularly Marcas O Murchu's touching "The Coalminers" and Gearoidin Breathnach's minimalist rendition of "A Droighnean Donn." Fans of the genre will probably enjoy this collection very much, but it is unlikely that it has the crossover appeal to rope in anyone unfamiliar with Irish folk music. ~ Bradley Torreano

Squeeze Play: A World Accordion Anthology by Various Artists (CD - 01/14/1997)
"Squeeze Play: A World Accordion Anthology" (01/14/1997) International Various Artists, Rounder SelectIncludes liner notes by Dick Spottswood. Reviews: Option (5-6/97, p.131) - "...a fascinating historical tour that links music from all over the world..." Archivist Dick Spottswood does his usually excellent job unearthing vintage world music nuggets on this collection of accordion tunes from around the world. Highlights include a couple of klezmer pieces from 1920, two plaintive Romanian tunes from 1927, San Antonio's Trio Hurac n on 1938's "Corrido de los Caminoeros" ("Song of the Bus Drivers"), and the legendary conjunto star Santiago Jim?nez, Sr. doing the lively polka "La Piedrera." Spottswood also includes tracks that, in effect, downplay the accordion, such as a Polish goralski highlander ensemble recording of "Kumotersko," where accordionist Joe Pat is just audible under violins and string bass, and Joseph Dingaan's "Nonyembezi," a South African piece from 1954 which features a harmonica playing in accordion style. You'll also find rare Acadian French and Scottish sessions on this wonderful collection. ~ Bob Tarte

The Rough Guide to Paris Cafe Music by Various Artists (CD - 04/02/2002)
"The Rough Guide to Paris Cafe Music" (04/02/2002) International Various Artists, World Music Network (UK)Includes liner notes by Guillaume Veillet. Paris is more than the city of romance. It's also the city of cafes -- the famous sidewalk places of beautiful women, and existential philosophers linger over dark coffee. But over the last century those cafes have also given Paris a musical identity, that of the bals musette, its songs and melodies powered by the accordion. The great chanteuse Edith Piaf was tangentially a part of that scene -- and quite rightly she appears here -- as were the Quintette du Hot Club de France, the fabulous jazz group fronted by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli (Reinhardt's son led a new Hot Club, who has a track here). Those are the internationally famous names, but others, like Emile Vacher and singer Fr?hel, developed the whole scene, which was allegedly begun when Antonin Bouscatel paired his Auvergnat smallpipes with accordion -- and the scratchy 1920 recording of "Para La Lop" makes a strong case for him as the genre's founder. This disc actually does an excellent job of showing the links between the old and new, starting with one of the most powerful bands of the modern chanson scene, Ramses, who integrates some heavy guitar perfectly with accordion, and then slipping backward and forward through time -- accordionist Jo Privat next to the acoustic punk chanson of Bell Oeil, for example, or Les Primitifs du Futur (including famed cartoonist Robert Crumb, and whose track sounds more Bonzo Dog Band than utterly serious) next to the traditional "Lo Mometto" -- to slowly paint a complete picture of caf? music. And it makes for a fascinating glimpse into a subculture that's barely known outside the country. ~ Chris Nickson

Oxfam Arabia: Arabesque to Oud - Contemporary Arabian Sounds by Various Artists (CD - 08/26/2003)
"Oxfam Arabia: Arabesque to Oud - Contemporary Arabian Sounds" (08/26/2003) International Various Artists, World Music Network (UK)Performers include: Simon Shaheen, El-Funoun, Alo Hassan Kuban, Mahmoud Fadl & Salwa Abou Greisha, Naseer Shamma. Liner Note Author: Dan "Boxcar" Rosenberg. Photographers: Chris Stuart; Toby Adamson; Taal Zaman; Gunnar Geller; Ssitus Pakzaol; Tony Taylor. Unknown Contributor Roles: El-Funoun; Salwa Abou Greisha; Ali Hassan Kuban; Natacha Atlas; Transglobal Underground; Warda. Arranger: Simon Shaheen. An interesting compilation of Arabic music supporting the goals of Oxfam in the Middle East by raising money and spreading awareness. The goal is to cover the wide variety of music from the Arab world both across genres, and across time, to a degree. The album opens with the Palestinian cultural troupe El-Funoun, and some relatively old folk forms, then moves forward rapidly with the techno-influenced groove of the Transglobal Underground and Natacha Atlas. Gnawa music forms a small base for the deeper house beats of London's MoMo, and violin/oud virtuoso Simon Shaheen shows off his prowess in the fusion of jazz with Arabic traditional forms. Nubia is represented by drummer Mahmoud Fadl, and Algerian rai by the "Boy George of rai," Abdou (a brave heterosexual cross-dresser in repressive Algeria). A long run on the oud shows off influences too numerous to pick out in Rabih Abou-Khalil's work, and Dahmane el Harrachi presents one of his signature numbers (made a hit much later by Rachid Taha) in "Ya Rayah." Even Sudan's premier oud player, Abdel Gadir Salim, takes time off from his job as a school principal to present a piece for the album. Nubia is again portrayed, this time through the sounds of the classic Ali Hassan Kuban, and Iraqi master oud player Naseer Shamma presents a piece on the oud making use of a more Spanish-style of plucking. The album ends with the Algerian Warda presenting her inimitable voice on "Dandana." The album cuts a wide swath through the vast array of genres and sounds available in the Arab world, but makes a coherent whole through the use of instrumentation as a link from one song to the next. The oud stands out as a prominent instrument throughout, as do aspects of the percussion, and occasionally, other instruments. By showcasing the diversity of music, but keeping one or two constants during each piece (or episode), the album's compilers do well in maintaining a sense of wholeness and unity. There are certainly more exciting compilations of Arab music to be heard, but this one does a fine job as a starting point, introducing the basic framework of the majority of the areas' musics to the listener, who can then move onward with the knowledge of the various genres. ~ Adam Greenberg

A Jewish Odyssey by Various Artists (CD - 09/26/2000)
"A Jewish Odyssey" (09/26/2000) International Various Artists, PutumayoIncludes liner notes by Jacob Edgar. Digitally remastered by Emily B. Lazar (The Lodge, New York, New York). Illustrator: Nicola Heindl. Photographers: John Kuczala; Jean Hangarter. Arrangers: Jeff Warschauer; Chava Alberstein. This collection of music from across the Jewish Diaspora shows the diverse influences that Jewish culture has absorbed over the years. From Arabic-influenced Sephardic sounds to the jazzy styles of modern kezmer to the Middle Eastern dance-pop of Ofra Haza, this collection goes around the world and back to present the sound of a people. This compilation hangs together better than most of the comprehensive offerings from Putumayo and contains some real winners like Haza's "Rachamin" and "Di Goldene Pave" from the Klezmatics featuring Chava Albertstein. ~ Stacia Proefrock
